Cassie Chadwick, born Elizabeth Bigley, was one of the most notorious con artists of the Gilded Age. Known as the “fake heiress,” she convinced American bankers, investors, and high society elites that she was the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie. Her elaborate bank fraud scheme nearly brought down entire financial institutions and involved some of the wealthiest families of the 1900s. This video explores the scandalous life of Chadwick, from her humble beginnings to her rise as one of the greatest imposters in American history.
